A Fire Safe Council is a coalition of public and private sector organizations that share a common, vested interest in wildfire prevention and loss mitigation. Councils are dedicated to saving lives and reducing fire losses by making their communities fire safe.
Someone needed to know which fire zone applied to where in this area. The map linked here will show you. In Siskiyou County, 282 is the South county, 281 the North County, 280 the East, and 284 the West. NWS uses the same zone to describe fire-related weather conditions.
